You’re halfway through an article, a giant login popup drops in, scrolling gets locked, and the page is basically dead. This bookmarklet brings it back in one tap.

The Bookmarklet

Copy this exactly (including javascript:):

javascript:(function(){document.documentElement.style.setProperty('overflow','auto','important');document.body.style.setProperty('overflow','auto','important');document.body.style.setProperty('position','static','important');document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(e=>{let s=window.getComputedStyle(e);if(s.position==='fixed'||s.position==='sticky'){e.remove();}})})();

Install It in 60 Seconds

1. Create any bookmark (Ctrl + D on Windows/Linux, Cmd + D on Mac).
2. Edit that bookmark.
3. Name it something obvious like Remove Popups.
4. Replace the bookmark URL with the bookmarklet code above.
5. Save it to your bookmarks bar.

When a page gets blocked by overlays, click that bookmark.

What It Actually Does

Readable version:

(function () {
  // 1) Restore page scrolling
  document.documentElement.style.setProperty('overflow', 'auto', 'important');
  document.body.style.setProperty('overflow', 'auto', 'important');
  document.body.style.setProperty('position', 'static', 'important');

  // 2) Remove fixed and sticky elements (common popup/overlay pattern)
  document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach((el) => {
    const style = window.getComputedStyle(el);
    if (style.position === 'fixed' || style.position === 'sticky') {
      el.remove();
    }
  });
})();

Most login walls and newsletter popups are just fixed-position DOM layers plus scroll lock. This script removes those layers and gives you scrolling back.

Side Effects You Should Expect

This is intentionally a broad hammer. It removes all fixed/sticky elements, not only bad ones.

That means it may also remove:

• sticky navigation bars
• floating chat widgets
• share sidebars
• cookie banners

If it over-cleans the page, just refresh. Everything resets.

Why This Belongs in Your Browser Toolkit

You can delete overlays manually in DevTools, but that gets old fast, especially on mobile. A bookmarklet gives you the same power in one click, on demand, anywhere.
